I picked it up again. The scheduler is forked from ULE, but the
algorithm to detect an interactive process is almost completely
different with ULE, it comes from Linux paper "Understanding the
Linux 2.6.8.1 CPU Scheduler", although I still use same word
"score" as a priority boost in ULE scheduler.
Briefly, the scheduler has following characteristic:
1. Timesharing process's nice value is seriously respected,
timeslice and interaction detecting algorithm are based
on nice value.
2. per-cpu scheduling queue and load balancing.
3. O(1) scheduling.
4. Some cpu affinity code in wakeup path.
5. Support POSIX SCHED_FIFO and SCHED_RR.
Unlike scheduler 4BSD and ULE which using fuzzy RQ_PPQ, the scheduler
uses 256 priority queues. Unlike ULE which using pull and push, the
scheduelr uses pull method, the main reason is to let relative idle
cpu do the work, but current the whole scheduler is protected by the
big sched_lock, so the benefit is not visible, it really can be worse
than nothing because all other cpu are locked out when we are doing
balancing work, which the 4BSD scheduelr does not have this problem.
The scheduler does not support hyperthreading very well, in fact,
the scheduler does not make the difference between physical CPU and
logical CPU, this should be improved in feature. The scheduler has
priority inversion problem on MP machine, it is not good for
realtime scheduling, it can cause realtime process starving.
As a result, it seems the MySQL super-smack runs better on my
Pentium-D machine when using libthr, despite on UP or SMP kernel.

* the upcomming new default linux base port is based upon Fedora
Core 3 (security support via http://www.fedoralegacy.org), which

* nobody answered my request for testing it ~1 month ago on

Currently MemGuard can only take over malloc()/realloc()/free() for
particular (a) malloc type(s) and the code brought in with this
change manually instruments it to take over M_SUBPROC allocations
as an example. If you are planning to use it, for now you must:
1) Put "options DEBUG_MEMGUARD" in your kernel config.
2) Edit src/sys/kern/kern_malloc.c manually, look for
"XXX CHANGEME" and replace the M_SUBPROC comparison with
the appropriate malloc type (this might require additional
but small/simple code modification if, say, the malloc type
is declared out of scope).
3) Build and install your kernel. Tune vm.memguard_divisor

FAT32 filesystems to be mounted, subject to some fairly serious limitations.
This works by extending the internal pseudo-inode-numbers generated from
the file's starting cluster number to 64-bits, then creating a table
mapping these into arbitrary 32-bit inode numbers, which can fit in
struct dirent's d_fileno and struct vattr's va_fileid fields. The mappings
do not persist across unmounts or reboots, so it's not possible to export

with millions of files.

than as one-off hacks in various other parts of the kernel:
- Add a function maybe_preempt() that is called from sched_add() to
determine if a thread about to be added to a run queue should be
preempted to directly. If it is not safe to preempt or if the new
thread does not have a high enough priority, then the function returns
false and sched_add() adds the thread to the run queue. If the thread
should be preempted to but the current thread is in a nested critical
section, then the flag TDF_OWEPREEMPT is set and the thread is added
to the run queue. Otherwise, mi_switch() is called immediately and the
thread is never added to the run queue since it is switch to directly.
When exiting an outermost critical section, if TDF_OWEPREEMPT is set,
then clear it and call mi_switch() to perform the deferred preemption.
- Remove explicit preemption from ithread_schedule() as calling
setrunqueue() now does all the correct work. This also removes the
do_switch argument from ithread_schedule().
- Do not use the manual preemption code in mtx_unlock if the architecture
supports native preemption.
- Don't call mi_switch() in a loop during shutdown to give ithreads a
chance to run if the architecture supports native preemption since
the ithreads will just preempt DELAY().
- Don't call mi_switch() from the page zeroing idle thread for
architectures that support native preemption as it is unnecessary.
- Native preemption is enabled on the same archs that supported ithread
preemption, namely alpha, i386, and amd64.
This change should largely be a NOP for the default case as committed
except that we will do fewer context switches in a few cases and will
avoid the run queues completely when preempting.

facility provides a direct mapping between 32-bit integers and these buffers.
This is needed for devices originally designed for 32-bit systems. Ususally
the virtual address of the buffer is used as a handle to find the buffer as
soon as it is returned by the card. This does not work for 64-bit machines
and hence this mapping is needed.
This commit has two pieces. One half is the watchdog kernel code which lives
primarily in hardclock() in sys/kern/kern_clock.c. The other half is a userland
daemon which, when run, will keep the watchdog from firing while the userland
is intact and functioning.

redundant paths to the same device.
This class reacts to a label in the first sector of the device,
which is created the following way:
# "0123456789abcdef012345..."
# "<----magic-----><-id-...>
echo "GEOM::FOX someid" | dd of=/dev/da0 conv=sync
NB: Since the fact that multiple disk devices are in fact the same
device is not known to GEOM, the geom taste/spoil process cannot
fully catch all corner cases and this module can therefore be
confused if you do the right wrong things.
NB: The disk level drivers need to do the right thing for this to
be useful, and that is not by definition currently the case.

access (given the right privilegs) to the S/Uni registers to user space
programs.

monitors the entropy data harvested by crypto drivers to verify it complies
with FIPS 140-2. If data fails any test then the driver discards it and
commences continuous testing of harvested data until it is deemed ok.
Results are collected in a statistics block and, optionally, reported on
the console. In normal use the overhead associated with this driver is
not noticeable.
Note that drivers must (currently) be compiled specially to enable use.

permit users and groups to bind ports for TCP or UDP, and is intended
to be combined with the recently committed support for
net.inet.ip.portrange.reservedhigh. The policy is twiddled using
sysctl(8). To use this module, you will need to compile in MAC
support, and probably set reservedhigh to 0, then twiddle
security.mac.portacl.rules to set things as desired. This policy
module only restricts ports explicitly bound using bind(), not
implicitly bound ports where the port number is selected by the
IP stack. It appears to work properly in my local configuration,
but needs more broad testing.
A sample policy might be:
# sysctl security.mac.portacl.rules="uid:425:tcp:80,uid:425:tcp:79"
This permits uid 425 to bind TCP sockets to ports 79 and 80. Currently
no distinction is made for incoming vs. outgoing ports with TCP,
although that would probably be easy to add.
